Address:
917 Sokak No:6, Kemeralti, Konak, Izmir - Turkey
The sign-board reads Kemeralti Tarihi Hamami (Historical
bath of Kemeralti). The hamam is located somewhere
behind the Salepcioglu Mosque. Kemeralti is historical
part of Izmir's central district of Konak, a traditional
shopping quarter with narrow streets housing cinemas,
cafes, spice shops, souvenir shops and many others.
Apart from the cruisy atmosphere there is not much to be
recommended about the venue itself. It is fairly
neglected, so do not go there with the expectation of
fulfilling your touristy Turkish bath dream. It is very
close to a modest and reasonable priced gay bar called
Ehl-i Keyf. You can visit the bar after the hamam if
you are in the mood for a few drink and get sociable
with local gays, mostly bears and straight acting guys.
